Situated close to the vibrant city of Le Mans in NorthWest France you will find Rushes Lake, a stunningly picturesque 10 acre runs carp lake that is over 350 years old.The lake, along with the woods that run down one side, was originally used as a hunting venue. Part of the house that sits on the dam wall, once formed part of the original 17th century hunting lodge.

Rushes Lake is more than just another Drive & Survive venue. This idyllic lake is home to a healthy stock of pristine carp, all waiting for you, and with the luxury food package, exceptional accommodation and excellent facilities all for your sole use, you really could not want for more.

Us….

We are Iain & Kim, we moved to France in October 2003 after a long search had resulted in us finding our little slice of heaven!The derelict house (that was to be our home & all the anglers rooms) needed complete restoration. We set to work putting in the anglers room, accommodation & showers whilst at the same time stocking the lake, building swims & managing the acreage & woods

We live and breath “Rushes”. Iain has been carp fishing for over 40 years, a number of them holidaying in France, and it has always been his passion to build a fishery that was natural, uncrowded, peaceful, and 'homely', with pristine, hardfighting, beautiful fish.We think we have achieved that.We also believe our service is second to none.... If its help with the fishing or you just need a pint of milk... we are here 24/7.Your holiday is important to us and we will do all that we can to ensure it lives up to, if not exceeds, your expectations.
